Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): Disease Understanding

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Overview

According to National Organization for Rare Disorders, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of rare inherited autosomal recessive disorders characterized by a deficiency of one of the enzymes needed to make specific hormones. CAH affects the adrenal glands located at the top of each kidney. Normally, the adrenal glands are responsible for producing three different hormones: corticosteroids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens.

• Corticosteroids: steroid hormones that gauge the body's response to illness or injury
• Mineralocorticoids: steroid hormones that regulate salt and water levels
• Androgens: male sex hormones

An enzyme deficiency will make the body unable to produce one or more of these hormones, resulting in the overproduction of another type of hormone precursor to compensate for the loss.

The most common cause of CAH is the absence of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. Different mutations in the gene responsible for 21-hydroxylase result in different enzyme levels, producing a spectrum of effects. CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is responsible for 95% of all cases of CAH and is broken down further into two subcategories: classical CAH, which can be sub-divided into the salt-losing form or the simple-virilizing form, and non-classical CAH. Classical CAH is by far the more severe form and can result in adrenal crisis and death if not detected and treated. Non-classical CAH is milder and may or may not present symptoms. Since the absence of 21-hydroxylase makes the individuals unable to make the hormone cortisol and, in the case of salt-losing CAH, aldosterone, the body produces more androgens which cause a variety of symptoms, such as abnormal genital development in infant girls. There are other much rarer forms of CAH as well, including 11-Beta hydroxylase deficiency, 17a-hydroxylase deficiency, 3-Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia, and p450 oxidoreductase deficiency which all present different symptoms. Although CAH is not curable, as long as patients receive adequate care and treatment, they can go on to lead normal lives.

The goal of medical treatment of CAH differs by the patient's age. CAH is a recessive gene, so both the mother and father must be recessive carriers. Couples with recessive CAH genes may prevent CAH through preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
